Max Wertheimer

Max Wertheimer was a pioneering psychologist best known for founding Gestalt psychology, which emphasizes understanding how the mind perceives patterns and整体图像，而不仅仅是其组成部分。 He believed that our perceptual experience is more than just a sum of individual sensations, highlighting principles like similarity and proximity that explain how we organize visual information. His work helped explain how we perceive continuous figures and patterns, influencing psychology, design, and visual arts by showing that the whole perception is greater than just the parts.
